I welcome you to School of Science, which was established in 1980 when the name of the College was changed from Advanced Teachers’ College to Lagos State College of Education at Onitolo, Surulere.

In 1991, the School relocated from the old laboratory to the new, School of Sciences Complex that was built by the military Government and commissioned by Colonel Raji Rasaki, the then Military Governor of Lagos State.

During that time, the School had six (6) departments which were: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Integrated Sciences and Physical Health Education. The Computer Science Department was later established in 1993.
The objectives of the programme include:
